Price of bond at issue is calculated using PV function in Excel :
rate = 10.5% (YTM of bonds = market interest rate)
nper = 20 (Years remaining until maturity with 1 coupon payment each year)
pmt = 200000 * 11% (annual coupon payment = face value * coupon rate)
fv = 200000 (face value receivable on maturity)
PV is calculated to be $208,230.91. This is the issue price.
